I’ve found a very interesting “bug”. For some reason it seems that PRT sometimes ignores a very important condition and goes for it anyway. In my code I have this:
Notice the “belowred = 1”. That’s my on/off trigger for buy, if it’s 0 then no go. Once i’m in the market it goes to zero and waits for a specific condition to switch back on. That works like a charm.
However, PRT ignores it and takes a trade I don’t want! Look at the attached image. That IF statement is the only place in the code where a buy order is issued… Anyone else have this kind of hick-ups? Errors like this is very costly and if this is a true PRT error it is very serious.
For me everything is working well. Your GRAPH instruction draw your “belowred” variable that is reset to 0 each time you take a trade on line 21. That’s why you may think that PRT take the trade in “inverted” mode despite of this variable value.
Yeah I got it now, belowred goes on, trade is made and it goes off all in the same bar – thus it is “invisible” at that entry. Great, many thanks for your help!
I’m still having a bit of trouble figuring this one out (this time it’s a reverse problem). Obvious entry is missed completely or severely delayed. Kindly look at the attached image, there should be an entry at X:
